Here is another common question, how can I control the Application window itself? Well that depends on what exactly you wish to do. So things are easy to do and other require APIs, etc.
Minimize/Maximize and Restore the MS Access Application Window
One can very easily control the Application Window state with one simple command, the often overlooked DoCmd.RunCommand!
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMinimize 'Minimize the MS Access Application DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMaximize 'Maximize the MS Access Application DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppRestore 'Restore the MS Access Application |
Completely Hide the MS Access Application Window
Once again, a not so uncommon question. Now implementing it requires a little more programming than merely minimizing or maximizing the application window, but it can be done! Now if you Google the subject you will find any number of code samples. That said, before I ‘waste‘ my time searching for anything relating to MS Access I always go and check The Access Web where you will find a ready to use API entitled Manipulate Access Window to do exactly this.
